If you guys are upset with Discord right now, whether it's their new CEO formerly being part of Activision Blizzard or their new partnership with an app that forces people's art to be a part of GenAI, then I suggest you check out @revolt.chat

There are people who appreciate egalitarianism and consciousness on all parts of the social spectrum, and those who don't. I think too many of us arrive at our identities for conformist, partisan reasons, leveraging a sense of superiority over those we define ourselves in contrast to.

Textbooks claim that justice systems developed to prevent cycles of violent retribution. If this is true, Thompson's death (tragic, like all deaths) is not the work of an individual, but a direct consequence of the failure of our legal system to protect millions of United Healthcare's victims.

In HS, repetitive homework wasn't how I learned. I need to pick apart the formula, play with it for hrs to understand it. I'm celebrating b/c rn, for the first time since I started writing and re-writing and re-writing my novel 13 years ago... I feel like 1/5th of it is "good enough" That's big! #💙📚
